Testing the audio quality of Android head units with the SMD DD-1
People always ask about the audio quality of these Android head units. I always say they sound way better than my old 430N in my 2016 Jeep Wrangler. However, my old Sony XAV-AX100 definitely had a higher quality sound.
While I am obviously I am not a car audio professional, I thought I would try to test it the best I can.
In this video I unbox the Steve Meade Designs SMD DD-1 Distortion Detector.
If you want to just right to the testing, skip to the 4 minute mark for Dasaita and the 16 minute mark for Seicane.
You can pick up the Steve Meade Designs SMD DD-1 Distortion Detector on Amazon:

In the video I downloaded the test tracks from this link:

In the video I use a Klein Tools Digital Multimeter, model MM400. That one is not currently on prime, but they do have the MM300 on Amazon:

The Dasaita I show is the 10 inch, but is not on Amazon. The 7 inch version is the same system, just a different screen size. The V800 has a 7 inch screen, 4GB of RAM, 32GB of storage, a Rockchip PX5 Octa-Core 64-Bit Coretex A53 processor, and runs Android 8.0 Oreo.
Model number HA2162-V840-8 can be purchased from Amazon at this link:

And the Dasaita 10 inch version is on AliExpress:

This is a Seicane 10.1 inch Android Head Unit for a 2016 Jeep Wrangler. The Seicane has a 10.1 inch screen, 4GB of RAM, 32GB of storage, a Rockchip PX5 Octa-Core 64-Bit Coretex A53 processor, runs Android 8.0 Oreo, retains Steering Wheel Controls with a plug and play harness (unless you have the Alpine system).
If you have the base audio system in a Jeep, it will be plug and play. If you have the Alpine, you will need the PAC RP4-CH11.
